While I’m updating about Digimon stuff lately, I don’t remember if I’ve ever posted this. While lots of people visit Odaiba, as have I and I LOVE it, less people go to Hikarigaoka. If you’ve never heard of Hikarigaoka, well you watched the dub, didn’t you? XD It’s Heighton View Terrace!
The difference between visiting Odaiba and visiting Hikarigaoka is, in Odaiba I was a bit disoriented, however in Hikarigaoka EVERYTHING was where I thought it would be. I may have cried! Plus, Hikarigaoka also embraces its Digimon connection. Just look at that map ( ; _ ; )
[ Digimon Adventure tri. ~ Places and Scenery part 16 ]
re: DigiAdv 2020 summary
just to emphasize this CONNECTION re SHIBUYA STATION in the summary I made a really dumb edit for your convenience :
( see: DigiAdv ep 33,
“ Pump and Gottsu are SHIBUYA-type Digimon ” ):
( BUT IT MAY MEAN NOTHIIIIIIIIIING ~~~~ - TOEI )
comments on the third adventure novel!
In case you’ve missed it (like I did), the lovely onkei-kunhas begun translating the long-awaited third volume of the digimon adventure novels!
All the novels are truly worth a read, but here’s some parts I found really interesting.
Digimon Adventure rewatch things / details spotted (JPN)
other observations from brief early Vamdemon arc rewatch:
(when they’re giving Jou their phone books): - Mimi went to “Wakaba Preschool” - Yamato went to “Dai-yon Elementary School” - KOUSHIRO ..... DOES NOT SAY WHERE HE WAS PREVIOUSLY LOCATED .....
( THANKS FOR THE HELP REWATCH )
- Jou was just starting summer school (i.e. studying for exams) the next day
- this is obvious if you know how the Japanese school system works but yeah
- he states it himself here too
- Jou got a 54 on his test
- at the beginning of the Tokyo Tower ep Taichi pulls open a drawer in his room - you can see an old / recent-ish TEST PAPER in there - IT HAS A “30″ MARK ON IT - TAICHI PLS
- SOME DIGIMON FAN: TAICHI DOESN’T GET BAD GRADES AT ALL HE ----------------------
^ THAT SURE LOOKS LIKE A “30″ TEST MARK TO ME H U H
OK IN TAICHI’S DEFENSE ( ALSO BC I LOVE HIM TOO) HE WAS STILL
SLIGHTLY DUMB SHOUNEN BOY HERE BUT
LBR THERE’S NO WAY TAICHI WOULD PERFORM BETTER THAN JOU
AND JOU GOT A “54″ I MEAN COME ON
IN THE SAME EP TAICHI TRIED TO
WEASEL OUT OF FINDING HIS PHONE BOOK OBVIOUSLY
KOUSHIRO AND SORA TOTALLY NOTICED
“YOU DIDN’T FIND IT RIGHT” KOUSHIRO BASICALLY
SORA COMMENTED ON IT TOO
NEAR END OF PARK SEQUENCE SO YEAH
TAICHI GETS BETTER BY THE END OF TRI OBVIOUSLY GRADES-WISE
AND MATURITY WISE LONG BEFORE THAT TOO BUT YEAH
also there’s a scene near the start of Tokyo Tower ep too where they’re riding the train and seeing the damage done from Koushiro’s previous fight vs Raremon and Taichi’s all “EEEHHHH..... SO THAT MESS IS FROM YOUR [KOUSHIRO’S] FIGHT LAST NIGHT ...”
it’s a super quick moment and probably wasn’t meant to imply much more than a briefly tense for plot tone but yeah LOOKS POINTEDLY AT TRI!TAICHI
ALSO in episode 34 Taichi talks with Jou on the phone about searching for the phone books to find the 8th child
Jou says
“ NO ONE ELSE BESIDES US MOVED FROM HIKARIGAOKA * ” (* Heighton View Terrace in the US dub )
NICE FORSHADOWING
even though lbr the Japanese version had already long spoiled it by here
- “ BOLERO ” INFAMOUS INSTRUMENTAL TRACK FROM THE JAPANESE VERSION OF THE ADVENTURE MOVIES AND ETC.
WAS PLAYING ALL THROUGH MIMI’S CREST EPISODE ( NICE )
